Globularia amygdalifolia is an evergreen shrub of the Plantain family, endemic to the mountains of Cape Verde and listed as endangered by the IUCN. It is rarely grown outside its native range, so care advice is largely general knowledge for related Globularia shrubs.
Globularia amygdalifolia is a flowering plant of the family Plantaginaceae. The species is endemic to Cape Verde. It is listed as an endangered species by the IUCN.
Globularia amygdalifolia is a western hygrophyte occurring on Santo Antão, São Nicolau, Santiago, Fogo and Brava, but is absent from São Vicente. It is mainly occurring in the subhumid and humid zones, but it has also been reported from the arid zone on Santiago. The main altitudinal distribution is between 400 m and 2200 m. The species has been recorded from below 100 m on Santiago. The uppermost records are from the caldeira rim on Fogo up to 2400 m (leg. Killian& Leyens). The plants grow on mountain slopes and less frequently in steep cliffs and they form a characteristic, but not dominating element of the indigenous montane scrub vegetation in the Cape Verde Islands.
